It was never a rumor, it was confirmed the day the Wii U was revealed.

And I like how you bring up some dumb points such as Nintendo not putting in 1:1 motion. You do realize that the technology was very expensive back in the day right? Even in 2008, Nintendo said it was too expensive.

By the way, DSi games are very small. There is no way you have only 15 Dsiware games on a 2GB internal system storage.

Dude, lol...the Wii was announced as a 1:1 system. That was what it was always supposed to achieve, that was what people were expecting... yet it didn't until the end of its lifespan. That's just sad.

So, are you going to say to me "I'm Wrong" when the Wii U sells at $349.99?

Depending on the launch lineup, the Wii U may have a decent launch from Nintendo fans alone buying it, however, at $349.99, it will almost entirely be cutting out the casual audience who has become so important to Nintendo.

The system may do okay at $349 but will not sell to Nintendo's expectations and certainly not enough to keep them afloat. So yeah, you'd be wrong to say the Wii U will be a hit a $350.

$350 is more than you first had to pay for an Xbox 360, and the Xbox 360 was actually a next gen console...And even that system didn't really start gaining momentum at $400/$300.

Believe what you want but if you wanna go hunting go to magicbox. Believe it was ubisoft who was saying the 360 is still more powerful than the wii u.

Please stop spouting false information. You know for a fact this isn't true and NOTHING can be worse than a 360. Even the cheapest cards available are more powerful than the 360.

I was going to say, the launch might help the Wii U.

What if it launches with New Super Mario Bros Mii and Wii ------? New Super Mario Bros is a system seller for the casuals.
